Wilton Hindu Mandir

The Wilton Hindu Temple was founded by Swami Balgopal 108 to serve the needs of the Hindu Community in North America. Swamiji is from the Himalayan region north of India. He joined his first monastery at the age of 2 and has remained a religious man since. From the age of 9, he was largely raised in New Delhi, India, where he attended school while also completing religious training in a monastery. Swamiji holds advanced academic degrees in Hindu philosophy and has extensive monastic experience. A speaker of six languages, he has spent the majority of the last 15 years as a religious leader in New York City, where he founded the American Hindu Religious & Cultural Organization (American Hindu RCO, Inc.) to support Hindu immigrants arriving in the United States.
